2.0 BLUEBOARD-LPC1114 Development Tool Setup
2.1 IDE and debugger
As mentioned in the earlier section, NGX’s MCU evaluation platforms are not coupled tightly with any
one particular combination of IDE and debugger. The following sections will explain the setup for
CoIDE and NGX CoLink as the IDE and debugger respectively.
2.2 Installation & Configuration of CoIDE software
The Installation of CoIDE software is explained below:
Note: We have used CoIDE 1.4.2 while creating the User manual for this evaluation kit. Please ensure
that you are using version 1.4.2 and above.
Step 1: Open CoIDE 1.4.2 setup
Fig. 2
User Manual: BlueBoard-LPC1114
Step 2: CoIDE 1.4.2 information Click on Next
Fig. 3
Step 3: Provide the destination path as shown in the below image and Click on Next.

2.3 Setup for NGX CoLink and BLUEBOARD-LPC1114 Board
The BlueBoard-LPC1114 board has on board 10 pin SWD box, the NGX CoLink is not part of the
BlueBoard-LPC1114 package, needs to buy it separately.
To run the BlueBoard-LPC1114 examples you will need the following and the image shows the each
components:
 NGX CoLink.
 BlueBoard-LPC1114 Board.
 Mini USB cable.
NGX CoLink with cable as shown in below image.
Fig. 8
User Manual: BlueBoard-LPC1114
Connections of components are shown in the below image.
Fig. 9
The above setup is ready to use for development in CoIDE IDE.
2.4 Configuration of NGX CoLink Debugger
The configuration flow of NGX CoLinkEx Debugger is explained below:
Before configuring the NGX CoLink select the tool chain path as C:\CooCox\CoIDE\gcc\Sourcery
G++ Lite\bin as shown in the below images.

User Manual: BlueBoard-LPC1114
3.2 Creating New project
Follow the below steps, for creating new project:
Step 1: After launching CooCox CoIDE, select manufacturer, for example: NXP as shown in image,
Fig. 21
Step 2: Select chip, for example:LPC1114x301, the right side of CoIDE will display the corresponding
information of the chip as shown in below image.
Fig. 22
User Manual: BlueBoard-LPC1114
Step 3: Check the components which you want to use, for example, check GPIO component. CoIDE will
promote you to create a new project as shown in below image.
Fig. 23
Step 4: Input the project's name, CoIDE will create a project contained startup code and main.c file for
you. The components you selected in third step will be added to your project, too as shown in
image.

4.0 BLUEBOARD-LPC1114 Programming
4.1 Programming options
BlueBoard-LPC1114 can be programmed using the
 On-chip bootloader (UART)
 Debugger (NGX CoLink)
4.1.1 On-Chip bootloader (UART)
In order to program the board either through UART we need to get the board under programming mode.
Getting the board in programming mode:
Theory: The On-chip bootloader looks for a logic LOW to be present on a pre-defined PIN (ISP pin)
during reset. If the ISP pin is held LOW and reset signal is provided to the MCU, the MCU enters into
programming mode.
Practical:
On the BlueBoard-LPC1114 the RESET and ISP signals are connected to buttons provided on the board.
Look for the RESET and ISP marking on the board. Therefore to enter into programming mode:
 Press and hold the ISP button
 Press the RESET button and release it
 Now release the ISP button
 The board is in the programming mode

4.2 Flashing the Hex file through UART
Step 1: Connect the serial cable to the PC as well as to the board UART and open the flash magic tool.
Step 2: Input all the parameters as shown in below Fig.
Fig. 29
Step 3: Click Start to flash the hex file. Press Reset to run.
NOTE: Make sure that the Board is not powered through USB.
